After Su Rong left, the maids and servants up and down in the Yutang courtyard quietly looked at Su Yan's face, and Qingyun and Luxue, a few close-fitting big maids, were even more indignant and waited for Su Yan to speak, so that they could interrogate the arrested servants.

How do you know that Su Yan teased the big cat at his feet unhurriedly, and even reached out to open the obedient mouth to see if it cleaned its teeth every day. Just now, she was as fierce as a big cat, which would be obedient and let her fiddle, and she was taught a lesson by pulling her beard, but she just lowered her head and chirped a few times, rubbing and coquettish on her.

"Shi Niang?" At the suggestion of the sisters, Qingyun moved to Su Yan's side and called in a low voice.

Su Yan looked up helplessly, "Do you need me to ask about this kind of thing in person?" "Didn't I divide the careers of these big girls before, who is responsible for the part that goes wrong, who will deal with it, and finally come to a conclusion to sue her, is it difficult for her to personally check from the beginning?

Qingyun and the others looked at each other, they just felt that this matter was not trivial, stealing Shi Niang's habits, if one was not done well, it would bring a lot of harm to Shi Niang, so they didn't dare to do it. Now when I hear Su Yan say this, I am ashamed.

"Shi Niang, let's go ask right away." Lu Xue beckoned Hua Rong and Bai Su with a lot of fighting spirit, "Go, follow me to interrogate people." ”

Hua Rong and Bai Su both studied with Lu Xue, and when they heard the words, they both walked to her side, and they planned to go to the place where people were closed.

Su Yan frowned and spoke up to stop: "Luxue, what are you going to do with them?" ”

Lu Xue was a little puzzled why Su Yan stopped her, but she still turned around and said respectfully: "Go back to Shi Niang's words, go and interrogate the person who was arrested before." ”

Su Yan shook her head, "The servant woman who was arrested earlier is not from our courtyard, nor is she from our fourth room. She made a mistake, let's take people as our duty, and go beyond the eldest aunt to judge people, it's not ours. "She will marry into the East Palace, the palace, and a basic requirement for survival in the harem is not to care about things and people that are not within the scope of her duties, especially those who are new to the palace. The maid who will marry into the East Palace with her in the future must have this consciousness from now on.

Lu Xue was stunned for a moment, in her mind, her little lady was the future crown princess, who in this Yasukuni Mansion she asked and didn't care?

Female Master Lu, who was responsible for teaching Su Yan all kinds of laws and documents, and a series of things related to etiquette, rules, and unspoken rules, finally showed a relieved smile on her face. After all, she did not choose the wrong master, her little lady was not blinded by the dignity of the crown princess, on the contrary, she was very sober, knew what environment she would live in the future, and was trying to adapt to and control it.

Female Master Lu is the eldest of the four female teachers given to Su Yan by the Lu family, she is nearly fifty years old, her sideburns have been dyed with a few wisps of frost, and there are fine lines on her forehead at the corners of her eyes, but those eyes are becoming more and more wise and deep. Although there are many female teachers trained by the Lu family, it is difficult to be given the surname Lu, and those who can be surnamed Lu are all the best among them, and they have always been prepared for the eldest daughter-in-law or the eldest granddaughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. On that day, Mrs. Lu sent Female Master Lu to the Su family, which made the eldest daughter-in-law Wu unhappy for a long time.

Although Lu Xue still had doubts, she did not delay her from following Su Yan's words. Those who are caught can't be tried, so they can only start from the study.

Lu Xue, Hua Rong, and Bai Su are in charge of the study, Hua Rong and Bai Su each have two second-class maids and four third-class maids, and the two are cross-interrogated, and Lu Xue observes. The maids and servants in Suyan Courtyard have always served their own duties, and it is especially easy to ask.

Su Yan's lunch has not yet been prepared, and the results have already been found out here. Su Yan's study has always been organized and cleaned by Hua Rong and Bai Su, including disposing of some discarded assignments. However, because Su Yan has always been accustomed to keeping all the exercises for a period of time, and often taking them out to check and find out the shortcomings, there are not a lot of papers that they need to deal with, and it is enough to clean them once every three or three days.

Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of this loophole and took the opportunity to go into the study to wipe the floor, took the fan, and asked someone to take it out of the house to sell it.

Su Yan seriously inquired about the rough woman who was in charge of the floor of the study, and learned that her husband was sick, and her son and daughter were still young, so they were not selected to be on an errand, so the family was a little tight, so she wanted to take the homework that Su Yan threw away and go out to exchange for some money.

Su Yan was amazed, "Can a broken study be sold for money?" "This was the first time she knew. Daxia has always been very tolerant of women, and it is even more lenient for talented beauties, and it does not prevent the daughter of the boudoir from spreading the pen and ink. Even, if someone's daughter is tall and beautiful, her father and brother are especially willing to pass on the pen and ink of their daughter and sister to promote the good name of the woman in the family.

In this atmosphere, many powerful people, rich people, celebrities, and talented people are happy to collect the masterpieces of talented women, especially those who are rich and powerful.

The kneeling woman saw that Su Yan did not speak harshly, and she was a little bolder, and her speech was not like the stuttering just now, "Shi Niang is recognized as the first talented woman in Shangdu, your calligraphy and paintings are extremely sought-after, and there are many sons of the family, and they are allowed to buy them with a thousand gold." "Su Yan's name as a talented woman is genuine, and it is still certified by the emperor, coupled with her popularity throughout the capital, her calligraphy and painting are almost comparable to several calligraphy and painting masters in the world.

Her calligraphy and paintings are so valuable! Su Yan's mood is really uncontrollable. "You go down first, and I'll send someone to check on your home." She waved her hand and let the woman go.

Lu Xue has never rubbed sand in her eyes, "Shi Niang, this kind of thing that eats inside and outside, just beat it and drive it out." ”

Su Yan stretched out his hand and patted Lu Xue's head, and said with a smile: "Lu Xue, you must always have a heart of benevolence." After speaking, he walked out of the study lightly, and a crisp and cheerful voice sounded outside the house, "Qingyun, the weather is exceptionally good today, let's have lunch outside." ”

"Shi Niang ......" Lu Xue chased two steps, thought about it and stopped. With her understanding of her little lady, this woman will definitely not stay again. Thinking about it at the time, it was not easy for them to meet a generous master.

Today's lunch has a dish of freshness, steamed anchovies made of honey wine, especially the meat is tender and fresh, so she is full of praise, and after a while, Su Yan said: "I feel like I haven't eaten this fresh fish for a long time." ”

Banxia, who was waiting, said with a smile: "This anchovy was sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, and in the future, Shi Niang will enter the palace and want to eat it, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will order someone to pay tribute." ”

When Su Yan heard this, his smile retracted, and he was silent for a long time and said, "Don't mention this again." "People can pamper themselves for a while, but they can't be like this all the time, and they can't ask everyone in the world to spoil you. She now understands a little why she asks the superior not to reveal her preferences lightly.

Banxia hurriedly lowered his head and bent his knees, "Shi Niang, the slave said the wrong thing." ”

"Make a note of that first, and pay attention later." Su Yan had a small face, and gave a serious lecture to the maids in the courtyard: "Regarding my preferences, I don't want others to know, including His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

All the maids bowed their heads at the same time and replied, "Yes." ”

Su Yan has always had the habit of taking a nap, she wandered around the courtyard for a while after dinner, and found that her aunt Liu had not sent someone to take away the servants who were detained by her, and after thinking about it, she understood her aunt's scruples, she laughed at herself, and sure enough, she was still not completely used to her new identity, otherwise she would not have made such a mistake.

Before she entered the main room, she whispered, "Qingyun, you take someone to send that woman to your aunt." ”

"Yes."

Liu had long known from her daughter that Su Yan had caught a person who had stolen her calligraphy and paintings. As the wife in charge of the Yasukuni Mansion, the servant who was held by her niece was not from her courtyard and the fourth room, and should have been brought by someone to interrogate herself. This is understandable, but the niece who was stolen is the future crown princess, and the Liu family is really not easy to interfere, so they simply turn a blind eye and let her go.

According to Liu's thoughts, Su Yan will definitely judge and punish people by herself, and then come to her to ask for an explanation, she didn't eat lunch well, so she thought about how to coax her to satisfy this niece. Unexpectedly, not long after lunch, the big girl in Su Yan's courtyard brought people over.

Qingyun saluted the Liu family, and said neatly: "Big lady, Shi Niang asked the slave to send it to Mrs. in the future." After speaking, he motioned to the people who came with him to put them down, and planned to leave.

Liu hurriedly stopped her and asked with a headache: "Did Shi Niang say what to do?" ”

Qingyun said: "Shi Niang said, the eldest lady is the head of the Guogong Mansion, and this person should be handled by you." After saying this, she took someone to leave.

Liu's headache is better to let Su Yan deal with it directly. She was punished lightly, for fear that her niece and Sifang would have ideas, and even her mother-in-law would be dissatisfied. If the punishment is heavy, you have to be told that you come to be harsh, it's really light or not strict, and you're in a dilemma.

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu decided to punish him heavily, and now it is important to coax his niece to be happy. She thought bitterly, fortunately, she didn't have to coax for too long.

In order to show her attention, she personally judged the person, dragged the person down and beat him for thirty boards, called the people's teeth, and sold the family. After dealing with it neatly, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to send a letter to Su Yan, while she slowly led someone to the main room, planning to talk to her mother-in-law.

Liu looked at his mother-in-law from a nap, and when he was in a good mood, he slowly stepped forward to tell the matter, and Wang's face was dropped on the spot, and he said angrily: "I really don't know how your family is done, and there are still people who go to Shiniang Courtyard to steal things!" After speaking, the old lady took the maid's hand and got up, and walked towards Suyan Courtyard.

Coincidentally, Su Yan had just woken up, sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze and combing her hair, as soon as Wang came in, he pounced neatly, took her into his arms, and cried in distress: "Heart and liver, you have been greatly wronged." ”

Liu was made by his mother-in-law's behavior, he couldn't sit or stand, his face burned in a panic, and he couldn't wait to disappear immediately.

Su Yan was cried by Wang's spirit, she struggled out of her grandmother's tight arms in embarrassment, helped the crying old lady to sit down, wiped the old lady's tears with a handkerchief, and coaxed in her mouth: "With Grandma here, where will I be wronged." ”

Wang took the little granddaughter's hand and glared at the eldest daughter-in-law hatefully, "It's because your eldest aunt is not strict in charge of the family that people will come to your courtyard to steal things." Don't be angry, your grandmother is your master. "This Chiguoguo's eccentric eyes really made Su Rong, who came later, jealous and envious.

Su Yan nodded at Su Rong who entered the house, then pulled Wang's hand and shook it coquettishly, and said playfully: "I'm not angry, someone would take such a big risk to steal my damaged habits and sell them, which shows that my calligraphy and paintings are valuable." She wrinkled her nose at her grandmother coquettishly, "After a while, I will have people send all the calligraphy and paintings I made in the past to my grandmother's house. But let's talk about it, you can't sell for too low. ”

Wang was amused by his little granddaughter, "Grandma's calligraphy and paintings, grandmother has to hide them so that they don't sell them to others." ”

Su Yan asked her grandmother, aunt and Su Rong to serve tea, and accompanied the Wang family to talk and laugh for a while, and the Wang family suddenly remembered and asked, "Ashu, have you caught that thief in your courtyard?" ”

Su Yan nodded, "I found it a long time ago, I sent someone to check, and the matter is indeed as she said." Her husband was seriously ill and needed money. ”

Wang was furious, "If you need silver, you dare to steal it, and you will turn against her." What about people? ”

Su Yan stretched out his hand and stroked the old lady's chest, "Grandma, dissipate your anger." She is forced by life, and it is really sympathetic. But a mistake is a mistake, and she can't go unpunished, and I have already rewarded her with thirty boards and expelled her from the Jade Hall. What she didn't say was that the badly written fan was taken back and destroyed by her, but she gave her an orchid sketch, and how much silver she could sell for was her own ability.

Her instruction to the woman and to all the people in the temple was, "If anyone who is serving by my side has anything in trouble, tell me." If I can solve it, I will do my best. However, if you make a mistake for this, you will be punished heavily. ”

The Wang family was still angry, and called the Liu family: "Call someone to come and sell all of them." ”

Su Yan hurriedly persuaded the Wang family: "Grandma, I have already been punished, there is no reason for one crime and two punishments, and this matter does not have to cause trouble to the family." ”

Wang took his granddaughter's hand and sighed, "How did you give birth to such a bodhisattva heart, and marry into the East Palace in the future, how can I rest assured." ”

Su Yan said with a smile: "Grandmother doesn't have to worry about me, the country has national laws, the palace has palace rules, I just need to obey and act." "So, it's best to have rules and regulations.

Su Yan coaxed the Wang family here, personally helped someone to send them back to Shou'an Hall, and accompanied the old lady to have dinner before returning to his courtyard.

The same thing, Su Yan and Liu's completely different handling methods made the subordinates of the Yasukuni Mansion quietly talk about it. Even though he didn't say it explicitly, many people said that Liu's was too strict, and said that it was no wonder that the sage would choose the tenth lady to be the crown princess, and sure enough, Shengming.

Su Rong has a lot of eyes and ears in the house, and after listening to these private discussions, she was secretly annoyed, she felt that Su Yan was stepping on her mother and her to buy people's hearts, and she did it so brightly, and there were still people who praised her.

She was angry in her heart, and when she went to Wei's house for a banquet on the second day, the two sisters sat in the same car, and Su Rong couldn't help but bring some out of her face.

Su Yan shook the red silk fan with the ivory handle in his hand, his eyes kept falling on the window, and he listened carefully to the cries of the street merchants and flower sellers, enjoying himself.

Su Rong couldn't help but ask: "Tenth sister, since the woman's hands and feet were not clean yesterday, why did you only lightly and skillfully reward thirty boards, this punishment is too clear." "If it were her, this kind of person would dare to steal the second time if she dared to steal it for the first time, and she would sell it early and clean." Besides, she may not have listened to someone's envoy to steal your things, you let her go so lightly, and actually increased her calligraphy and painting, aren't you afraid of the people behind you, and use it to make a fuss? ”

Su Yan looked at Su Rong with a gaze similar to looking at a fool, which made her almost unable to suppress the fire in her heart, "Seventh sister, do you think that no outsider will know about what happened in our mansion?" ”

Su Rong still has some understanding of his mother's methods of managing the family, and said with special certainty: "Of course." ”

Su Yan shook his head and sighed: "Don't say that our mansion is the Sage's Taiji Palace, and we don't dare to make this guarantee." Yesterday's events, I'm afraid that they have already spread out at this moment, even if someone supports her, when everyone knows about it, what means can they use? ”

"Besides, there is a rule in our family that those who steal will have thirty rods, and I am not wrong to punish them." She spread her hands, this is a clear rule in the family, Su Rong, who often helps the eldest aunt take care of the family, should know better than her, why do you ask so?

Su Rong: "......" was depressed and found that she couldn't refute it at all, so she could only keep her mouth shut. However, she learned another trick from Su Yan, she took care of the rules in everything, she was a good point, and others had nothing to say. No wonder, the harem of the crown in the previous life made King Wu fascinated, his eyes were the same, and he didn't even care about the scarcity of heirs, and refused to look at the rest of the women again.

Speaking of which, what Su Yan is inferior to Su Rong is probably in terms of children. In her previous life, she was loved and pampered by King Wu in every way, sitting and lying day and night, and she only gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Su Rong himself is not in love with King Zhou, but he also has five sons and two daughters. In terms of children, Su Rong is very proud, and she has taught her children very well. The children like Su Yan are more powerful than the other, and the little daughter is even more spoiled by the husband and wife.

Su Rong thought of the things in his previous life, and he still felt a little worried about his children. However, she looked at Su Yan curiously, the crown princess in her previous life did not give birth to a boy and a half girl to the prince. The prince's large number of children were born to other women in the East Palace. In this life, Cheng Dù, who had few heirs of Su Yan in the previous life, will the prince still be like in the previous life, with countless concubines and countless concubines?

Su Rong bet with all the experiences of his previous life that the emperor would definitely give the prince countless beauties at that time, and maybe he would watch his son go to sleep with his little wife to prolong the emperor's heir, so I don't know what her sister will say when the time comes? Oops, she's so curious.

The carriage was quite fast, and it didn't take long for it to stop at the gate of the Wei Mansion. When the Wei family was in the first emperor, because Concubine Wei was favored by the first emperor, it was very important, so the entire mansion covered a large area, almost half a square. As a family that emerged later, it is very proud to have such a large mansion in Shang.

When the Su family arrived, the Wei family almost came out to welcome, and the old lady of the Wei family took Wang's hand and smiled, "Sister, it's time to wait for you, please come in." ”

Wei Liuniang came with a smile, and took Su Rong and Su Yan's hands with a smile, "Qi Niang, Shi Niang, please come in." "Wei Liuniang has always been very pompous, and today is no exception, there are at least 30 people around her, holding all kinds of utensils that Wei Liuniang may need, quiet and orderly.

The Wei family set up a banquet by the pool in the back garden, where the lotus flowers bloomed and the breeze sent wisps of fragrance.

Little girls of this age such as Wei Liuniang, Su Yan, and Su Rong like to play in the water pavilion the most. In the most exquisite water pavilion, there were already several little girls, and they were all familiar to everyone.

Wang Jing, Liu Chunjiao sisters, Zhu Erniang, Changning Junjun, Song Wan, etc., are all common.

Before, these little girls fought for the princess, but now the name has been decided, and they are all affectionate to Su Yan, including Duan Yan and Changning Junjun, and their attitude is extremely affectionate.

Although Wei Liuniang is the master, she obviously respects her identity, and she will not greet people, and among the people who came later, only the daughter of the Cui family let her out, and the rest was Gu Yuan, the granddaughter of the eldest princess, when she came, she didn't move.

Gu Yuan is Su Yan's future sister-in-law, as soon as she saw Gu Yuan come in, she got up to greet her, took her hand affectionately, brought her to sit down beside her, and whispered to the two of them.

Su Yan teased her, "I thought Sister Yuan wouldn't come today?" "The two families have already agreed that after Enko, they will marry the two.

Gu Yuan spit out depressedly, "Since March, I have been locked up at home every day and suffocated to death. ”

"When you marry your eldest brother, let him go out with you." Su Yan quipped.

Gu Yuan pursed his lips, "My mother just trained me, saying that Zijin's studies are important, and I am not allowed to disturb him all the time." ”

Su Yan is still very confident in his brother's ability, "My father said that during this time, let the fourth brother relax and don't have to read books every day." Say yes and enter the exam room with the most relaxed mind. By the way......" Su Yan pulled Gu Yuan's sleeve and leaned into her ear and said, "When my brother is gone, will Sister Yuan come to deliver it?" ”

Gu Yuan said on the spot: "Definitely." ”

"When the time comes, I'm going to pick you up? Or you can live directly in my house. ”

"Okay."

The future sister-in-law got together and chatted happily, but Wei Liuniang brought a beautiful girl out and introduced to everyone: "This is my fifth sister, the most gentle and submissive, don't bully her." ”

The five mothers of the Wei family don't come out often, but they see more in the palace, she often goes to accompany Concubine Wei, and she is very favored by Princess Wei.

Wei Liuniang specially took Wei Wuniang to see the people in the water pavilion one by one, and when she came to Su Yan, she also deliberately said, "Shi Niang, my sister likes to write and ink, and she admires you the most." In a moment, you'll have to instruct her. ”
